POSTS STORIES REELS TAGGED

In 2026 I was diagnosed with a brain tumour (GBM), found during a biopsy. Since then it’s been one round of radiotherapy, eight rounds of temozolomide, a recurrence, three more rounds of temozolomide, another round of radiotherapy, and four resection surgeries. Most recently, fourteen days in hospital due to seizures — frustrating, because I was medically fit to go home after just one.

I’m now on bevacizumab, which isn’t funded on the NHS for my type of cancer, so I’m covering it privately alongside everything else.

Through all of it, training has been the constant. Ten weeks post-op, I’ll be lining up at Hyrox Birmingham with my team — Mixed Pairs, Women’s Singles, and Men’s Singles, all four of us fundraising for Macmillan. The peeps tagged are the psycho’s who will be joining me on the start line.

This isn’t a highlight reel. It’s been hard, it still is hard, and there’s more road ahead. But I’m still here, still training, still fighting — and I wanted to share it properly rather than in pieces.

Thank you to everyone who’s supported me so far — friends, family, and people I’ve never even met. It means more than you know. 💙

This weekend, the Willpower community, friends and family, came together in support of our wonderful @jack_howitt. Jack has been fighting brain cancer for over seven years and now needs vital treatment that is currently unfunded, so Share the Load Games was our way of helping to raise money towards his treatment ❤️

We want to say a huge thank you to everyone who came along, took part, donated and helped make the event such a success. The support shown for Jack and his family has been incredible.

A special thank you to @salcombemeatcompany17, @bakehousesalcombe and @salcombedairy , who generously donated everything for the BBQ, and to our brilliant local businesses @aloftco, @discoverysurfschool, @nkukulife and @frothedcoffeeroasters, whose generous raffle prizes helped make the raffle a huge success.

And finally, a shout out to @mandy.j.palmer for planning such an incredible afternoon and really putting us through our paces.

We are incredibly grateful to everyone who gave their time, donated, took part or simply came along to show their support. It was a wonderful example of what can happen when a community comes together to Share the Load.

Thank you from the bottom of our hearts. 💙

Salcombe, always a joy never a chore. This visit with a different purpose, the @lets_go_velo Salcombe Triathlon completed in 2:06 with little to no training. I’ve never climbed so many hills let alone on a bike, and certainly never had an intention or desire to cycle uphill for 1,467ft #salcombetriathlon #triathlon #sunshine #bollinger #crabshed #keepingitclassy #noprosecco

LONDON HYROX 2023 🔥

An amazing event - over 5000 athletes working through an intense atmosphere.

Jack and myself took to the floor at 10:30 this morning with an expectation to try and complete the track in under 1:30. Jack’s previous best was 1:37:33. We finished the event with 1:20:07. Jack exceeded himself, both with his running speed and strength on the exercises.

It was an honour to share the floor with Jack today, he never ceases to amaze me the incredible human being that he is.

-

Kezza competing in the Female Pro division, was on at 11:50. Some hot competition and a busy running track, Kezza managed to maintain a consistent running speed and smashed the exercises.

With a previous best of 1:24, Kezza came home today with 1:15:59 . An outstanding warm up for the World Championships in 4 weeks time.

-

All in all a great day for @willpowerfitness and I’m super proud of the athletes competing over the weekend.

Goodluck to Ben tomorrow competing in the Men’s Open.

For Kezza, Ian & Chris.. we take on the World Champs.

Let’s go Willpower 🔥💪
